DESCRIPTION

       mail-notification  is  a program that sits in your desktop environment's notification area (or say System
       Tray) and shows mail status icon. When there's  no  mail  waiting,  it doesn't show  any  icon,  and  the
       envelope  icon  appears  when  some  of  configured accounts have new  mail.  Also  it can  automatically
       launch the program, specified in Preferences on new mail arrival.

         mail-notification features include:
                 * multiple mailbox support
                 * mbox, MH, Maildir, Sylpheed, POP3, IMAP, Gmail and Evolution support
                 * SASL authentication support
                 * APOP authentication support
                 * SSL/TLS support (disabled, see README.Debian)
                 * automatic detection of mailbox format
                 * immediate notification (depending on your settings)
                 * HIG 2.0 compliance
